Three Flowers

Om boken

For Caitlin Bailey the past has been far from easy. Living in the shadows of her mother’s mental illness, she has been brought up in Dublin by her Aunt Milla. Now aged 22 and with her mother back home, Caitlin is escaping to London with her artist boyfriend Fitz to live life on her own terms. What does she want? Who can she be?

The emerging art scene of early ’90s London brings a job as a gallery assistant and exciting new friends but intrusive memories of her childhood haunt Caitlin’s nights. And then Fitz leaves to work in Rye — it’s temporary but feels like another abandonment. What follows will change everything.

A love story in which past and present reverberate, Three Flowers asks what we need to hold and what we need to let go in order to love and live well.
